My Linux Essentials

Everyone should learn about Linux. The best way to do that is by downloading, installing, and using Ubuntu. These are my notes to anyone starting that journey.

Once you’ve downloaded Ubuntu the next decision will be where to install it. My suggestion is go virtual. I run Linux on my corporate laptop and on my personal iMac; both using VMware Fusion. As of this writing I am running v8.5 and the current version for Mac is v10. The other way of going is to install VMware ESXi on a server and create a Linux virtual machine. That’s a great way of learning not only about Linux but also virtualization.
